WHO Health Statistics API

healthy 4,427 Subscribers

The World Health Organization's Global Health Observatory (GHO) as an API — authoritative global health statistics for every WHO member state. Search a catalogue of more than 3,000 health indicators spanning life expectancy and healthy life expectancy, mortality and causes of death, immunization and vaccine coverage, communicable and noncommunicable disease burden, maternal and child health, nutrition, mental health, health workforce, health financing, water and sanitation, and risk factors such as tobacco, alcohol and obesity. For any indicator, pull a country's complete time-series — each data point with its year, value, the WHO uncertainty interval (low and high bounds), the WHO region and the breakdown dimension (for example sex) — or compare the indicator across many countries for a chosen year, or the latest available year per country, ranked by value. Country codes are ISO3 (DEU, USA, JPN) or WHO region codes; results can be filtered by sex (both, male or female). Ideal for public-health research, journalism, NGO and policy dashboards, epidemiology and global-development analysis. Indicator codes come from the indicators endpoint (e.g. WHOSIS_000001 is life expectancy at birth). Data from the WHO Global Health Observatory.

ATC Drug Classification API — oanor API marketplace

ATC Drug Classification API

The WHO ATC (Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical) drug classification as an API — 6,400+ codes organising every medicine into a 5-level hierarchy: anatomical main group → therapeutic subgroup → pharmacological subgroup → chemical subgroup → chemical substance. Look up any ATC code (e.g. A10BA02 → metformin, N02BE01 → paracetamol, J01CA04 → amoxicillin) with its full ancestor chain, direct children and WHO Defined Daily Doses (DDD); search drugs by name; or navigate the tree from the 14 anatomical main groups. Ideal for e-prescribing, pharmacy, clinical decision support, drug databases and health analytics.

 Fruit Nutrition API — oanor API marketplace

Fruit Nutrition API

Fruit nutrition and botanical taxonomy as an API, built on the open Fruityvice dataset. Get every fruit with its scientific classification — family, genus and order — and its per-100g nutrition: calories, sugar, carbohydrates, protein and fat. Look up a single fruit by name, list every fruit in a botanical family (e.g. Rosaceae), genus (e.g. Prunus) or order (e.g. Rosales), or filter the whole catalogue by a nutrient range — for example all fruits with under 5g of sugar, sorted lowest first. Real data, no key needed upstream. Ideal for nutrition and diet apps, smoothie and recipe tools, health trackers and educational projects.

 Disease & Public Health API — oanor API marketplace

Disease & Public Health API

Global public-health data as an API, built on the open disease.sh dataset. Pull worldwide COVID-19 totals (cases, deaths, recovered, active, critical, tests and per-million rates), the same figures for any country (e.g. germany), continent (e.g. Europe) or US state (e.g. California), and the full sortable country list ranked by cases, deaths, tests and more. Track vaccine-coverage timelines globally or per country, and pull historical day-by-day case, death and recovery timelines for any country. Real data, no key needed upstream. Ideal for health dashboards, epidemiology research, data journalism and analytics.

 Sunscreen & UV API — oanor API marketplace

Sunscreen & UV API

Sun-safety maths as an API, computed locally and deterministically — the burn-time, SPF and reapplication numbers a sunscreen, weather or outdoor app keeps people safe with. The burntime endpoint estimates how long until sunburn from the Fitzpatrick skin type (1 very fair to 6 deeply pigmented), the UV index and the SPF: unprotected time is a skin-type base (type II around 15 minutes) scaled by 6 ÷ UV index, and protected time is that times the SPF — so fair type-II skin at UV 8 burns in about 11 minutes bare, or roughly 5½ hours under SPF 30, while very fair type-I skin in extreme UV 11 burns in 5 minutes. The spf endpoint flips it: the SPF needed = your desired minutes outdoors ÷ the unprotected time, with the reminder that real protection plateaus around SPF 30–50. The amount endpoint covers the part people get wrong — about 2 mg/cm², roughly 1 ounce (30 g, a shot glass) for a full adult body, reapplied every two hours — and totals the sunscreen for a day out. Everything is computed locally and deterministically, so it is instant and private. Ideal for sun-safety, weather, skincare and outdoor app developers, UV-alert and reminder tools, and wellness software. Pure local computation — no key, no third-party service, instant. Educational estimates, not medical advice. Live, nothing stored. 3 compute endpoints.
